  1. 2.  Alfred Bost was born on 21 May 1848 in North Carolina; died on 2 Jul 1927 in Texas; was buried in City Of Lubbock Cemetery, Lubbock, Lubbock County, Texas.

    Notes:

    Lynell Cordell shows hims as the son of John BOST and Clarissa,Christina? LEFLER.

    She notes that at the time of the 1870 Van Buren County, Arkansas federal census, Alfred was living int he home of the Williams family in Liberty Township, (page 45), and listed as:
    Bost, Alfred, 20, M, W, Laborer, IL.

    On the 1880 and 1900 census enumerations, Alfred is reported as being born in North Carolina, however on the above enumeration Illinois is shown. Several of his children also report that their father was born in Illinois.

    Lynell Cordell wrote that she looked for all Bost's in Texas on the Find-a-grave website and found the following. Since they're in the same block of the same cemetery she assumes that they are Mary Jane Adams and her husband, Alfred. Another Bost descendant/researcher Lynell had previously talked to said they were divorced, but since Alfred died so early that may not be so.

    Email from Lynell Cordell:

    I've been working on the Adams family lately. Lizzie 'Adams' Trawick's family was in Van Buren Co. Ar in 1860 & 1870 and then disappeared. I found two marriages in Van Buren Co. that I thought could be their daughters, Mary Jane married Alfred Bost and Martha E. married George Parnell. So I traced both of them to Jack Co. Texas and today I came across the 1880 Jack Co. census online and couldn't believe it when I saw William V. and Nancy Adams there! How about that?

    David + Lucy Fisher. Lucy was born before 1804 in Tennessee; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    1. 6. William Valentine Adams was born on 14 Feb 1822 in Mississippi; died on 18 Mar 1894 in Knox County, Texas; was buried in Benjamin Cemetery, Benjamin, Knox County, Texas.

  3. 14.  Alfred Marrien Carroll was born about 1801 in North Carolina; and died.

    Notes:

    At the time of the 1860 census, he was living with what appears to be a second wife, as she is some 30 years younger than he. Her name is also Elizabeth, as was his first wives name. Monica Hightower, on the Genforum "Carroll" Message board stated that his second wife was Elizabeth BEARDING. It is assumed the youngest children in the household at 1860 were those of Elizabeth BEARDING, and presumably Alfred.
